I am yet to see someone who doesn’t think owning a home is important and a worthy goal. I can therefore not imagine why anyone would not think insuring their home is important. Some others who grudgingly get some insurance don’t bother to know the extent of the coverage. How important

is home insurance?

Try to consider this. You can not get a mortgage loan if you do not agree to the mortgage providers term which includes having the home insured. Are they foolish for making this compulsory? All they want is to make profit at the end of it all. Their insistence on this should start you thinking.

A friend of mine had a home but she didn’t think to insure it. Unfortunately, her home got burnt down. She had to become an inconvenience to friends who had to offer her accomodation. I’m not even counting the loss she suffered financially and emotionally. Now she is in a confused state since she can’t get her house back up due to lack of funds and ill health.

My friend obviously never thought it possible that a thing like that could happen. A lot of people unfortunately think this way. It happened anyway regardless of what she thought.

I personally think that having a home without insuring it is an act of irresponsibility.

For those who have homes that are insured, have you taken the time to ascertain that your home is fully covered? It would be heart rending if you thought your home was fully covered only to discover too late that you are under covered.

I want to know if I am fully covered. To know this, try getting the right value of your home and for your content coverage, the correct value of your home’s contents.

You can find this value by doing an evaluation to know what it would cost in today’s market to rebuild your home. When you get a correct value, you might also discover that your home is over covered.

Being over covered is not better than being under covered since you are losing money in both cases.

Many people who are over covered usually arrive at this point because in valuing their homes, they included the cost of the land on which the home is built. If you were to make a claim for the rebuilding of your home would your claim include the cost of repurchasing the land? Answer this and you would know have your answer.

Some people might need to insure their home and the land for one reason or the other. If this is the case, you need to be sure that this is the case and that your insurer is clear on it. You wouldn’t want surprises.
